Probably better asked on the Apache list (or whatever server you're 
using), but it presents an interesting question:

You might try putting a redirect statement in your config. file, and 
restarting your server.  Two possibilities:
- the server will issue the redirect - what you seem to want
- the server will first do the https exchange, and THEN issue the 
redirect, in which case, what's the point?

And, as Frank asked: why is it useful in any case?
